Hmmm. Interesting the Slimes did this, even though it was the Saturday edition. Either the Press is running low-level stuff (and I don't count GMA's performance today as low-level, but if it goes no further, then what will it matter?) but anyway, the press running low level stuff in order to say later, "we've already covered that".

Or, Kerry is French toast as others have said.

The NYT has an article about the ribbons/medals lies in today's edition.

Throughout much of his political career, Senator John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, has faced questions about a singular event that took place 33 years ago last week: he and fellow veterans discarded medals in Washington to protest the war in Vietnam.

The Kerry campaign Web site says it is "right-wing fiction" that he "threw away his medals during a Vietnam War protest."

Rather, the Web site says, "John Kerry threw away his ribbons and the medals of two veterans who could not attend the event."

But the issue is not so cut and dried. A television interview Mr. Kerry gave in November 1971 shows that Mr. Kerry himself fed the confusion from early on. The New York Times obtained a videotape of the interview late last week...(snip)
